ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM AND BLIND SPOT SYSTEM PROBLEM MESSAGES AND ISSUE SURFACED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE, I WAS UNABLE TO BACKUP THE VEHICLE AT SERVICE PLAZA AND ALSO WAS UNABLE TO BACKUP VEHICLE WHILE PARKING ON OUR HOME DRIVEWAY! NOT ABLE TO BACKUP VEHICLE IS A HUGE SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUE. I TRIED CALLING HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, BUT WAS TOLD TOW TRUCK WAS RESTRICTED ON OHIO TURNPIKE. ISSUE SURFACED SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER LOOKED AT THE ISSUES AND PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE. DEALER DETERMINED ' AFTER CODES WERE CLEARED, ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED'. I AM NOT CONVINCED THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY KNOWN ISSUES LIKE THIS ON 2018 ODYSSEY'S WITH 10 SPEED AUTO, ELECTRONIC PRESS BUTTON TRANSMISSION! A CASE 11543835 HAS ALSO BEEN OPENED WITH HONDA , BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE YET.

WE JUST BOUGHT OUR VAN 20 DAYS AGO, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IS FAILING. IT INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS DOWN WHEN PARKED AND WHILE DRIVING. THE RADIO CRACKLES, OUR MODEL HAS A DVD PLAYER THAT SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK, BACK UP CAMERA SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK, BLUETOOTH SHUTS OFF DURING A CALL. SCREEN SHOWS CONNECTION LOST AND REBOOTS WHILE DRIVING. WE WAITED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF OUR VAN DUE TO A RECALL THAT THEY WAS RELATED TO THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, I GUESS THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

MY NEW 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A VERY DISTINCTIVE ELECTRICAL STATIC/CRACKLING/HISSING NOISE COMING FROM DASHBOARD WHEN DRIVING OR IDLING THAT DOESN'T SOUND NORMAL BUT VERY CONCERNING. WILL TAKE TO DEALER BUT DON'T EXPECT MUCH SINCE I'VE READ AND RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITHOUT ANY ACTIONS FROM DEALERSHIPS. DOES NHTSA HAVE ANY ADVICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE?

TRYING TO GET A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ESCALATED AS THE DEALERS (TOOK TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS) DON'T SEEM TO BELIEVE ME THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. I HAVE A 2016 HONDA ODYSSEY, BOUGHT USED. THE DRIVER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR RECENTLY STOPPED OPENING PROPERLY AND STOPS HALF WAY THROUGH OPENING ON OCCASION. THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL PROGRAMMING ISSUE THAT BY-PASSES THE SAFETY PINCH POINT FEATURE WHEN THE DOOR FAILS TO OPEN AND THE DOOR AUTOMATICALLY STARTS TO CLOSE. THE DOOR STARTS TO CLOSE AND SMASHED MY WIFE BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE FRAME OF THE VAN. THE PROGRAM SHOULD NOT BY-PASS THE PINCH POINT SAFETY FEATURE IF IT SEES A DOOR FAILURE TO OPEN ALARM. I TESTED THE PINCH POINT SAFETY FEATURE AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY WHEN THE DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES PROPERLY. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN AS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MY KIDS GETTING SMASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND MY WIFE WAS LOADING MY YOUNG KIDS IN TO THE VAN.
